Set to make its splashy debut in summer 2018, the FRONT Triennial seeks to become “the most important contemporary art event in North America,” according to founder Fred Bidwell of Cleveland’s Transformer Station. Aptly titled “An American City — Eleven Cultural Exercises,” the event will span multiple days, venues and forms of programming. (Think lectures, roundtable discussions, films and more.) A roster of 60 artists assures a wide range of voices in the mix. An excerpt from Artnet’s coverage:

The roster of nearly 60 artists (which appears below) ranges from emerging figures like Cui Je, Nasser Al Salem, and Asian Dope Boys to midcareer artists like A.K. Burns and Naeem Mohaiemen to elder statesmen such as Allen Ruppersberg and the late Mike Kelley. The organizing principle of the list, the curators explained, is that the participants are in various ways responding to the idea of cities today.

“While Cleveland is a blue city,” Bidwell added, “a 15-minute ride will take you into very Republican territory, so it’s a cool place to talk about the issues of today. It’s at the crossroads of many political, cultural, and economic crosscurrents.”
